Marisa Shuman’s computer science class at the Young Women’s Leadership School of the Bronx began as usual on a recent January morning. Just after 11:30, energetic 11th and 12th graders bounded into the classroom, settled down at communal study tables and pulled out their laptops. Then they turned to the front of the room, eyeing a whiteboard where Ms. Shuman had posted a question on wearable technology, the topic of that day’s class. For the first time in her decade-long teaching career, Ms. Shuman had not written any of the lesson plan. She had generated the class material using ChatGPT, a new chatbot that relies on artificial intelligence to deliver written responses to questions in clear prose. Ms. Shuman was using the algorithm-generated lesson to examine the chatbot’s potential usefulness and pitfalls with her students. “I don’t care if you learn anything about wearable technology today,” Ms. Shuman said to her students. “We are evaluating ChatGPT. Your goal is to identify … [Read more...] about At This School, Computer Science Class Now Includes Critiquing Chatbots

When Robert Eringer first saw Craig Rosebraugh in the news, he knew his professional contacts would be very interested in the young man’s story. A masterful account of Mr. Rosebraugh’s life as a radical environmentalist — not to mention his connections with domestic terrorists — would certainly impress the people who paid Mr. Eringer. He was a pro at getting people to reveal intimate details of their lives in the memoirs he helped them produce. He would reach out to Mr. Rosebraugh and get him to write a book, to tell his story in all of its specifics. That story had begun in the blink of an email one evening in 1998, as Mr. Rosebraugh, a tall, thin environmentalist, was making dinner. Alone in his one-bedroom apartment in Portland, Ore., he spotted an encrypted message in his inbox and decoded it to find a communiqué, addressed to him, from the Earth Liberation Front. Two days earlier, on Oct. 19, 1998, eight fires had torched a mile-long stretch of Vail Mountain in Colorado, … [Read more...] about The Case of the Eco-Terrorists and the Book Deal

Regulation is a key concept which evolved and was further glorified in the scenario witnessed by economic reforms and liberalisation. The role of regulation as emphasised in the economic theories is to promote or restrict competition (say, regulation of natural/artificial monopolies), redistribute income (redistribute scarcity rent [windfall taxes]), increase or reduce barriers to entry (Competition law), increase or reduce externalities etc (pollution, congestion), and to address information problems (inadequate/asymmetric information [food, drug, health, safety, lemons goods, experience goods]). Thus, the role of regulation is to change consumer/producer behaviour to achieve optimum output in the economy. The instruments of regulation include inter alia price (price floors and ceilings), quantity standards, information disclosures, registration, certification, licensing, moral suasion, legislation, incentives and education. Though quantity regulations are less flexible and less … [Read more...] about Opinion | Redefining ‘Regulation’ in an Emerging Tech Era
